WATCH IN UMBRA: all five clips, native playback
THE KAZAKHSTAN PHONE VIDEO
DOW-UAP-PR072 is titled for an administrative revision of an intelligence report on a UAP "in the vicinity of Karaganda International Airport." AARO assesses it is likely from the rear-facing camera of a commercially available cellular device, in February 2022, uploaded to a classified network in April 2023. It is 17 seconds long and was digitally altered before upload, presented as received. After a blank start, the video fades in from black at 0:04 to show a luminous phenomenon with trails of diminishing brightness extending from the center, the camera pans left and right and zooms in on it, and it fades to black at 0:13. It is the only clip on this page not recorded by a military sensor.
THE AFRICA COMMAND CLIPS
DOW-UAP-PR081 (titled 18 October 2020, 4 minutes 59 seconds) is empty except for a single area of contrast that crosses from near the top left to near the bottom right between 0:58 and 1:03. DOW-UAP-PR082 (16 October 2020, 4 minutes 46 seconds) has one area crossing from the middle left to the upper right in a single second, at 0:28. Both were uploaded in October 2020 and come from Release 02. DOW-UAP-PR043, from the first release, is among the briefest in the record: two seconds of infrared from Djibouti in 2025, in which a small, barely distinguishable area of contrast moves from the left to the bottom right.
THE KABUL CLIP
DOW-UAP-PR064 is titled "AFSOC Kabul UAP Jul 2017," and is 17 seconds long: 13 seconds with no content, then an area of contrast that moves in from the left edge and out the right edge in about a second. AARO gives only the Central Command area of responsibility. By its title it is dated July 2017.
WHAT THESE CLIPS TEACH
They show how much of the record is brief: seconds of contrast in minutes of empty display. They also show why AARO's descriptions list "no content" stretches carefully. A reader looking for a dramatic video will mostly find a reminder that a report can be a single second of a faint mark, and that the interpretation lives in the accompanying report, not the footage.
WHERE IT SITS IN THE RECORD
PR043 came in the first PURSUE release (May 8, 2026) and the rest in Release 02 (May 22, 2026), whose material AARO says lacks a substantiated chain of custody. See also the CENTCOM 2018 to 2022 clips and the spherical UAP clips from the same release.
What is the Kazakhstan UAP video?
DOW-UAP-PR072, a 17-second clip AARO says is likely from a phone's rear camera in February 2022. It shows a luminous phenomenon with trails of diminishing brightness, and was digitally altered before upload.
Where is Karaganda International Airport?
In central Kazakhstan. The clip's title refers to a UAP in the vicinity of the airport; AARO gives no more precise location.
What are the Africa Command UAP videos?
Three clips: PR081 and PR082 from October 2020 in Release 02, each with a brief transit of an area of contrast, and PR043, a two-second 2025 clip from Djibouti in Release 01.
Why are these clips so short?
The record includes many reports in which the object is visible for a second or a few seconds. AARO's descriptions list the rest of the clip as no content.
Where can I watch all five clips?
Umbra, a free iOS reader of the public PURSUE record, plays every clip natively with AARO's description and source markings.
